Vayishlach - 600,000 Angels of Protection

 

 

Why were the angels dancing in circle formation as Yaakov returned to Israel? What is the significance of the fact that there 600,000 of them? What is the idea of the 'encampment' of these angels that serves as a chariot for the manifestation of Hashem's Divine Presence? Why does Yaakov send some of these angels to his brother Esav? How do these angels parallel the amount of Jews who were standing at Har Sinai to receive the Torah and at Yam Suf when the sea split? How do these same angels manifest in the times of Elisha Hanavi? Why is Yaakov concerned when Shimon and Levi decimate the inhabitants of Shechem and say that 'we don't yet have 600,000 members of Am Yisrael?'
